15The idols of the Gentiles are silver, and gold, the works of men's hands.The idoles of the Gentiles are ſiluer, and gold, the workes of mens handes.Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
16They have mouth, and shall not speak: they have eyes, and shall not see.They haue mouth, and ſhal not ſpeake : they haue eies, and ſhal not ſee.Os habent, et non loquentur ; oculos habent, et non videbunt.
17They have ears, and shall not hear: for neither is there breath in their mouth.They haue eares, and ſhal not heare : for neither is there breath in their mouth.Aures habent, et non audient ; neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
18Let them that make them become like to them: and all that have confidence in them.Let them that make them become like to them : and al that haue confidence in them.Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
